DO SOMETHING 

[Stoner]

The franchise has a problem when a depraved, drugged poster, Peak Inkman, provides 25 times the entertainment value of your product.

Any chance NJ doesn't play Markstrom tomorrow?

 

He hasn’t had to work much, so he’ll still be fresh.

[inkman]

I’m done with Pegula.  I’m done with Adams.  I’m done with Lindy.  I’m done with every heartless player on the roster (btw, it’s all of them).  Just end this misery for us all. Crash the team plane into the ocean on way home.

Glad the game is blacked out here in NJ

Getting shutout in the opener is a good start... lol

[HumanSlinky39]

Oh good, another power play.

[#freejame]

Jagr looks bored

It absolutely is Pegula. Pegula should not be making any decisions that directly impact the team like hiring a GM. There needs to be a buffer. He needs to hire a President of Hockey Operations (and a good one) to make those calls. He should be 100% hands off.

 

I understand the irony that he would choose the guy that makes those decisions, but what can I say? 

This is a different discussion, but the way the team is playing, we might as well talk about it.

I really think that he think he KNOWS hockey 80% as well as anyone he hires.  So maybe he would admit they spend more time on it than him, but he WANTS to be involved in every decision, pretty deeply involved. We know that happened in the past, some hope it isn't happening now but I don't know.

I think Adams can be a decent GM. But I think he was hired because he makes Terry feel good. He talks to Terry and makes him feel like he is being heard.  The talks highly of Terry.  He's not going to 'talk back' to Terry, he's not going to tell Terry when he is really being more of a distraction to the team.  

Again, this probably did happen in the past..does it happen now? I'm not sure, but it 'feels' like it still does.

I guess all I can do at this point is get ***** up and laugh my ass off.

Yes, I concur, it starts at the top. I have to believe it pains Terry to see the past 13 years, but making decisions matters. Stop, just stop. Hire the top guy to lead an NHL franchise, throw the money truck at him. Then put back, mouth shut, ears open, and let it happen.

It's an....."off draft year", so 1st over all will be a 5'9 1/2" defenseman....

The F it is. This draft is fun

[bob_sauve28]

PP just brutal 

[mjd1001]

I'm on "Dahlin gets frustrated and tries to do too much" watch.  

He plays his worst hockey often when he is frustrated with the entire team and tries to do more than he is capable of.

[pastajoe]

Can they sign Jagr for tomorrow?

[HumanSlinky39]

 

You're doing it wrong.

If they realize they can beat the Sabres with one of their fowards playing goal, sure, why not?

I hope so LG. I count on...nah.....depend on your input on this. So, do we need to tank, or do you think there's redeemable top line pieces here is the question I have for you.

[Gatorman0519]

Welp, only game 1 and we look worse than under Granato. Can’t get worse can it?  

[#freejame]

Can’t believe the just showed 10 seconds of ***** Smehlik highlights instead of the game. This ***** organization.

Dahlin playing the worst game of his life so far. 

[WhenWillItEnd66]

So I guess I am not missing much??

[inkman]

I honestly love this forum, the posters and rooting for this team.  No one has ever made it more difficult to do the easiest thing ever.  Fall in love.
